Chapter 15: Victory in the Great War
Mo Chen looked at the soldiers of Chi Guo who were kneeling on the ground and crying, and his heart was sour, "I said, if you want to stay here, stay, and if you want to go back, go back, I won't force you to stay, and I won't kill your mouth." After saying that, Mo Chen wanted to jump off the war horse and let Bai Dian rest and rest.
The soldiers of Chi Guo were in a hurry, some returned home together, and some quickly gathered together, waiting for Mochen's troops, for fear that if the action was slow, Mochen would regret it.
Just as the tight strings in everyone's hearts were slowly loosened, an inaudible sound sounded in the air, it was a returning soldier who had already walked some distance from the farthest distance, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, and shot at Mochen fiercely when everyone was not paying attention.
Plop β
In the mild sunlight of the sun, an arrow pierced into Mo Chen's left arm, and one of his bodies did not hold steady and fell off his horse.
"General! General, how are you? Fast! Capture him! Rufeng was the first to run to Mochen's side, half-lifted Mochen, and looked fiercely at the man who shot the arrow. All the Mo Yun Army surrounded and looked at Mo Chen with concern.
"Stop! Give me back! The archer was among the many fellow returnees, and they remembered Mo Chen's kindness, and they gathered around him and captured him, and quickly escorted him back to Mo Chen.
"Get down on my knees!" Rufeng strode behind the man with red eyes, the long sword in his hand slashed through the man's back knees, and then pressed the blade against his carotid artery, looking at Mo Chen, as if as long as Mo Chen looked at him, he would move the blade of the sword.
"Ahh The screams suddenly came out, and the man knelt heavily in front of Mo Chen, who slowly stood up and let the blood on his left arm drip down, "I can't figure it out, why do you want to kill me when I let you go?" β
"Soldier, it is my duty to obey orders, the goal of my Chi Guo army this time is to defeat the Moyun army, if I don't kill you, I have no face to go back!" The man was loud, even if he might die in the next second, he was not afraid at all.
Mo Chen sighed lightly, "You are a good soldier, but you are not worthy of being a man, no matter what you do, you must learn to be a man first, since you don't have the face to go back, then don't go back!" β
After Mo Chen finished speaking, he turned his back, plunged his sword into the ground with his right hand, pulled out the arrow, threw the bloody arrow into the sky, and bandaged the wound alone.
When the wind saw this, he understood it, and his right hand stroked vigorously, and blood spilled out, and some people may admire him, but no one sympathized with him.
"Like the wind, count the team." Mochen rested his right hand on his saber, and his left arm was bandaged. At this time, after hundreds of rounds of fierce battles with Li Qian, coupled with injuries, his eyelids were a little heavy, and he was very tired.
"Yes!" After listening to the order, he quickly assembled the team and counted the number of people.
In less than five minutes, Rufeng walked quickly and bowed his hand, "General, there are now four thousand five hundred and sixty-three people left in my Moyun army, and countless people are injured, and three thousand one hundred and twenty people have been surrendered. β
Hearing Rufeng's report, Mo Chen's heart ached, and Mo Yunjun died more than 5,400 people, more than 5,400 fresh lives, and just died.
But he also knew that if the more than 5,400 people were not killed, the soldiers of Chi Guo would definitely be killed among the people, and the number of dead and wounded would definitely be doubled. β
"Yes!"
Looking at the people who had finished tidying up, Mo Chen stepped on the white electricity, "Mo Yunjun listened to the order, the old rules, won the battle, I don't care how proud you are when you go back, but on the way back, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, let alone cheer, our victory is the comrade-in-arms in exchange for their lives, we mourn the whole process, it is a minimum of mourning for them!" β
"Moyun Army obeys the order!"
Dayun Capital, in the imperial garden of the inner courtyard of the palace, Zhou Yun leisurely strolled and admired the flowers, beside him, Peach Blossom was wearing a light purple robe, and his long black hair was coiled up in an orderly manner, closely following Zhou Yun.
"Your Majesty, look at the flowers on this peach tree, they are really bright!" Peach Blossom pointed to the peach tree on the side and looked at Zhou Yun with affection.
Zhou Yun just glanced at the peach tree casually, and then took Peach Blossom's hand, "No matter how bright the peach blossoms on the peach tree are, they are not as beautiful as the peach blossoms around me!" β
Peach Blossom was stared at affectionately by Zhou Yun, and she turned her head shyly, revealing a little daughter posture, which made Zhou Yun even more pity.
At this time, a military attache walked in from the main gate, with a happy face, strode towards Zhou Yun, walked five or six meters in front of Zhou Yun, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the Moyun Army in Xicheng District intercepted the soldiers and horses of Chi Guo, and won the battle!" β
Zhou Yun was also overjoyed when he heard it, "Oh? How's the battle going? β
"Back to Your Majesty, with a loss of less than 6,000 people, the Moyun Army annihilated more than 15,000 soldiers of the Chi State and incorporated more than 3,000 people!"
"And what about two thousand?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I was ... I was put back by General Mo..."
"Put it back?!" Zhou Yun's eyes sank, "Kindness on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself, doesn't he understand this truth?" β
Seeing that Zhou Yun was unhappy, the joy on the military attachΓ©'s face was quickly contained, revealing an angry expression.
"Your Majesty, the concubines heard that General Mochen is not only strong in martial arts, but also kind-hearted, our Dayun soldiers are strong and strong, and the emperor is your wise and powerful, even if you put back a few thousand people, Chi Guo is far from daring to have any intentions against Dayun." Peach Blossom held one of Zhou Yun's hands with both hands and said softly.
Zhou Yun heard Peach Blossom's soft praise, and the annoyance in his heart disappeared a lot, "Mochen's battle, although it should not be released, but it also lost 5,000 elite soldiers, and the battle was won. I have clear rewards and punishments, meritorious and rewarded, and there are punishments, and as for the punishment, let him stay in the inferior city for two more years. β
"The emperor is wise, and the minister retires!" The military attache knelt down, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and then left the imperial garden in a hurry with a face on his face, staying with Zhou Yun, the emperor, everyone had to look at his face at any time, it was too tired.
The sun hung high in the sky, put away softly, and recklessly sprinkled light and heat on the world.
In the inferior city, in front of a rather imposing mansion, there is a plaque of "General's Mansion" hanging above the vermilion lacquer gate, on both sides of the gate, there are two majestic stone lions, and more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers guard, go straight in, about a hundred steps away, you can see a low and wide building.
The gate is open, there is an open field, all kinds of weapons and some stone locks and stone piers are placed around, and many soldiers are fighting with their bare hands on the open field, this is the martial arts hall.
The heat wave was getting stronger and stronger, and the soldiers were dripping with sweat and dripping to the ground.
Bypassing the Yanwu Hall, the scenery changed suddenly, behind is a pond, dividing the General's Mansion into two distinct areas, seeing the garden courtyard looming behind the green trees, is the Houfu, a wooden arch bridge collapsed on the pond, becoming the only way to the backyard.
Under the sun, the surface of the pond reflects the light of crushed gold, and the lilac water lilies are blooming in the water, and the reflection of the green trees makes it even more delicate and soft, refreshing and chic.
Close your eyes and listen, there is the sound of flowing water slowly into your ears, presumably the pool is the living water drawn from the Jiu'an Canal, which is more refreshing, and the disturbing summer seems to be scattered in all directions, and the mood returns to a clear and clear calm.
